Ad calls Obama a giant can kicker

A conservative group is trying to battle back against President Obama's sequestration PR blitz this week with a new ad on the Internet and cable stations.

YG Network, the advocacy group led by John Murray and other staff alumni of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's team, helped Republicans maintain their majority in 2012 with independent expenditures in several House races. Now they are pushing a more national message as they join the sequestration fight.

The ad, citing the Washington Post's Bob Woodward, accuses the president of creating the sequestration and then "kicking the can." The visuals: a giant animated can bearing Obama's face smashing down a residential street and careening into a busy intersection. The group is putting about $100,000 behind the ad.
